Redistricting is the process by which new congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn. All United States Representatives and state legislators are elected from political divisions called districts. District lines are redrawn every 10 years following completion of the United States census. The federal government stipulates that districts must have nearly equal populations and must not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity.[1]

Explanation:
Gold is primarily found as a pure, native metal. Sylvanite and calaverite are gold-bearing minerals. Gold is usually found embedded in quartz veins, or placer stream gravel. It is mined in South Africa, the USA (Nevada, Alaska), Russia, Australia, and Canada. Quartz is a type of igneous rock and Sylvanite and calaverite are a type of rare metal, which when heated, leaves behind gold or gold-silver. So, simply put, no, you cannot find gold in sedimentary rocks.
